Grays blow big lead in opener

The Louisville Grays lost the season opener against the Senators after blowing a six run lead entering the bottom of the last inning.

The Grays scored four in the top of the first.  John Garcia walked and stole second and went to third as Jose Cubero reached on an error.  Mark Ferguson drove John in with a single and advanced Jose to second.  After Jose stole third and John Denney was hit by a pitch and stole second, both scored as Brent Bonte reached on the Senators' second  error of the inning.

In the second, the Grays  added a run  as Dave Porta and Chris Gregory doubled back to back.


In the bottom of the second, four Senator singles cut the lead to 5-2.


The score remained 5-2 until the bottom of the fifth when a lead-off walk and a pair of singles produced a run and a 5-3 score.

In the sixth, three consecutive singles cut the Grays' lead to 5-4.

In the seventh, the Grays plated two unearned runs on two Senator errors and played add-on in the eighth and last inning scoring three on a single by Jose, a walk to Mark, and singles by John D. and Bill Keeling and taking a 10-4 lead.

But in the bottom of the eighth after there were two outs and runners on second and third, EIGHT straight singles scored seven runs and let the Senators escape with an 11-10 win.
